Hi,
The KCL GPEP interview is MMI...
We're not actually allowed to say too much about it as your made to sign a piece of paper but sessentially it's 8 stations of 5 minutes long in duration.
There are 2 ethics stations - Nothing particularily hard it's more like how you think. You get time to prepare before hand. One more ethics and more current events
The other 6 stations are the obvious stuff really you'd expect in any interview (why medicine etc)... Unlike St Georges the MMI here the interviewers do speak back to you after you've answered the question so be prepared to be quick with some answers
I really enjoyed it and was completely myself - And now I'm here. I screwed up on one station royally, but just laughed it off.
Just show them you have a personality and you're not a robot. Everyone is from such different backgrounds.
Hope that is of some help :smile:


Thats great information, thanks very much for it :smile:

Hope all's well at KCL !!!

is that what you mainly used to prepare if you don't mind me asking? hope your interview went well? Also, you know they ask you to upload your GCSE certificates, do they want any other certificates uploaded like confirming the qualifications you put into ucas like d of e?


I did use that book a lot! Erm the way I uploaded was scanning the documents and attaching them to a message to the college via the portal? (I didn't do DofE) I think it went well I hope they thought so too :smile: good luck for yours!

This is really helpful, thank you :smile: I don't know if you're allowed to answer much more about the interview but just wonder/checking whether that means they're less likely to have stations where you have to break news to an actor/pack a suitcase etc?

Do you find out about interviews on the portal or by post/email?

Also... when you got your portal login, did you have to fill in any forms or anything like that?

Kings called my school and told them my application is incomplete and I'm really worried :frown:

On the portal, check it regularly as I didn't get an email update. I don't think you do, I can't remember any. Best of luck!!

Last year one of my friends got rejected in December before christmas not sure if rejections have commenced yet or not for this academic year
Guys I got an interview (yay!) but when I accept it and press submit, and then go back to the page, it doesn't say I've accepted it, just refreshes so I don't know if they know I've accepted it or not. Should I ring or has this happened to others too?
